After another two days, it finally ushered in a very important festival in the West, and people outside were very happy. In Chujiazhai, if it weren't for the avant-garde Chujiacheng, as well as a lot of tourists from outside, and most importantly, the authentic gringos in Jackton, maybe no one in the village would have paid attention to it.

Christmas Eve, also known as Christmas Eve, is a very important night similar to the Chinese New Year's Eve in China.

Legend has it that on the night of Jesus' birth, shepherds, who were guarding their flocks in the wilderness, suddenly heard a voice from heaven telling them the news of Jesus' birth. According to the Bible, Jesus came to be King on earth, so the angels spread the news to more people through these shepherds. Later, people followed the example of angels and preached the news of Jesus' birth on the night of Christmas Eve. Until today, it has evolved into the activity of reporting good news.

In Christian churches, on Christmas Eve, it is customary for every family to place a Christmas tree. That night, the whole family gathered in the living room, sang Christmas songs around the Christmas tree, exchanged gifts, shared the joys and sorrows of life, expressed their inner blessings and love, and prayed for happiness in the coming year. There are also many Christians who attend Midnight Mass or meet on Christmas Eve, usually in churches around the world to mark the beginning of Christmas.

However, this festival is not exclusive to Christianity, and many churches also have it, such as Catholicism, etc.

It can also be said that the way this festival is celebrated will be different in each country and region. According to Jackton's presentation. Christmas Eve is also believed to be a time when Santa Claus and other similar figures from other regions go around handing out gifts to children.

in Italy. Gifts were opened on Christmas Eve morning in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Portugal and Poland. Christmas presents are usually opened on Christmas Eve, or Christmas morning. In most parts of Germany, Christmas presents are opened on Christmas Eve. In Iceland, Christmas begins at 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve. Church bells are rung and people enjoy a festive dinner with their families, after which gifts are opened. Spend the night together.

In North America, most families open their gifts on Christmas morning. In divorced families, children may be separated for two days to celebrate with either the parent or parent. in Spain. The gift will not be opened until the morning of Jan. 6, the day of the Manifestation. Many traditional Christmas stories take place on Christmas Eve.

On this day, there were a lot of Christmas-related goods in the shops in the village, which was obviously someone's idea again. Although the people of Chujiazhai do not enjoy this festival. But now Chujiazhai is no longer a simple village, there are more tourists in it than villagers, and there will be a market if there is demand.

The day before yesterday, Chujiacheng had already hinted at a few shops, and Kong Fansen and others also knew that this was a business opportunity, so they went to the city to buy goods, but there was no way, there was no such thing in the town.

Daytime. Jackton and the others did not go out, but decorated the house at home. I don't know where these guys brought back a few large Christmas trees, and with the combined efforts of several people, they placed them on the patio of the house.

When they were busy, many people went to watch. The children in the village saw the flickering lights, and their eyes lit up. None of them had ever been out, as far as the streets of the town, and they hadn't had much contact with the outside world, which they had only seen on TV.

See foreign festivals in full swing. Professor Wen, Wan Lao and the others felt more or less uncomfortable in their hearts, and it was difficult to hide the worry in their eyes. Now that these foreign cultures have soaked into the countryside, can they not worry? They know the situation in the city very well, and the traditional festivals in China are almost out of market, and every Western festival is very grand under the hype of merchants.

Chu Jiaqiang also does not reject foreign culture, and he has long been mentally prepared for the Christmas invasion of Chujiazhai. He feels that there are some things that you can't escape, and blindly blocking foreign cultures is not a long-term solution. If you want to show your traditional culture, you have to start from yourself, suppress dissent, and achieve your own culture, which is not the best policy.

Therefore, Chu Jiaqiang feels that as long as he increases the publicity of his traditional culture and makes traditional culture truly penetrate into the hearts of the people, especially the younger generation, then he will no longer be afraid of the impact of foreign culture.

"I said Jiaqiang, you also went outside to mingle, everyone else went out to celebrate, you stayed at home and didn't respond? It can't be for the sake of us old men, right? Fu Shenglin said with a smile.

Chu Jiaqiang shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "To be honest, I have no interest in Western festivals, and I even hated them a little before. As you know, girls outside like to follow the crowd, and these festivals mean that men have to dig their wallets. He clearly remembers that he worked part-time for half a month, and when he arrived at this festival, it was gone in a blink of an eye, and it was strange that he had a good feeling.

Professor Wen and the others were stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed, secretly thinking that this also makes sense, for young people who have girlfriends and their families are not very wealthy, they may indeed not like it very much.

At this moment, Chu Jiaqiang and the others heard the scolding of the villagers and the crying of the children. Professor Wen and the others are a little strange, since the development of Chujiazhai, adults rarely beat and scold children.

When Chu Jiaqiang walked out, he saw a villager holding a whip to teach the two boys in the family. The big one is still holding on, Lao Tzu seems to be indifferent when he wants to beat or scold, and the younger brother is crying so much!

"Uncle, why are you so angry? It's hurt to be angry! It's not good for tourists to see the impact, right? Just stop fighting, have something to say! Chu Jiaqiang hurriedly ran over and snatched the man's whip away.

The man is estimated to have been angry, and now the Chu family is forced to intercede, so he took advantage of the situation and went downhill, glared at his two boys fiercely, and said: "See if you dare in the future, if it weren't for your strong brother to intercede, Lao Tzu would have skinned you today." ”

After speaking, he let out a bad breath, and then he talked to Chu Jiaqiang and the onlookers about the cause and effect. After listening, everyone looked at each other one by one, speechless.

It turned out that the two boys did not know where they heard the news that if they put their socks by the fireplace today, they believed that Santa Claus would come down from the big chimney at night and bring them gifts full of socks. So, the two brothers, with the intention of believing that they would rather believe that they have something than not, did so. As you should have guessed, when cooking at home, I didn't pay much attention and burned all the socks of the two boys. If it weren't for the smell of burning, everyone would still be in the dark.

Chu Jiaqiang glanced at the scene, and saw that Chu Jiacheng was sneaky and wanted to escape from the scene, and immediately shouted: "Ah Cheng, where do you kid want to go?" Wouldn't you give everyone an explanation? ”
